Recruiting studies
- NCT02851758Recruiting
Autologous mitochondria treatment for critically ill heart children on ECMO
This trial looks at giving a child their own mitochondria to help protect the heart from injury caused by reduced blood flow. It is for children with serious heart problems who are on a heart-lung machine and may have signs of ischemia (reduced blood flow damage).
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 17 years - NCT07066267Recruiting
Mitochondria from fat cells to boost IVF eggs
This study tests if giving your eggs a boost from your own fat-cell mitochondria can improve chances of a healthy pregnancy for people who have had multiple failed IVF cycles. You'll donate a small amount of fat through liposuction, and the mitochondria from those cells will be added to your eggs before fertilization.
ColomboAges 29–39 - NCT03762512Recruiting
Donate placenta after C-section for mitochondrial research and future therapies
This study collects donated placenta after a planned C-section to isolate mitochondria (the cell’s energy parts) for research and possible future therapies. Participation mainly involves being a medically healthy pregnant person who meets specific health and medication safety checks.
Ramat GanAges 18–45 - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT05770349Recruiting
Heart failure patients having bypass surgery are studied
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
TomskAges 18 years+ - NCT06017869RecruitingPhase 2
Mitochondria therapy for Pearson Syndrome in children
This trial tests a one-time infusion of your own blood cells mixed with donated mitochondria to see if it can help children with Pearson Syndrome grow better and improve their health. It is a new approach that aims to provide the energy your cells need.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 1–18 - NCT06465160RecruitingPhase 1
Study of MNV-201 for low-risk MDS with anemia
This study tests a new therapy called MNV-201 for people with low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who have anemia and need regular blood transfusions. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce or stop the need for transfusions.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18–100 - NCT06539078Recruiting
How aging affects muscle mitochondria
This study looks at how aging affects muscle cells, especially mitochondria (the energy powerhouses in your cells). They are comparing people who are very inactive with those who are endurance athletes, in both young and middle-aged groups, to understand how exercise might slow age-related changes.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18–65 - NCT06672497Recruiting
Testing a light sensor for muscle health in breast and gynecological cancer patients
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure how well your muscles use oxygen. Researchers want to learn if this tool can help monitor muscle health in people with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 20 years+ - NCT06868992Recruiting
Study of MASH and cell changes in weight-loss surgery
This study looks at a possible link between MASH (liver inflammation with fat buildup) and tiny cell structures that help liver cells work. Researchers want to understand this better in people having weight-loss surgery, where a small liver sample will be taken.
Lyon, FranceAges 18–99 - NCT07322406Recruiting
Kaempferol absorption and processing in healthy adults
This study is testing how your body absorbs and processes kaempferol, a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables. It involves taking kaempferol and having blood and urine tests.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mitochondria?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting mitochondria studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a mitochondria trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a mitochondria trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
